I don't think he will run it. But, I gave it a shot.

Dear Smiley,
Perhaps I am being too serious but ...
Marsha Von Gruben said she takes "the ‘go forth and multiply’ gospel very seriously.” The rest of the sentence in Genesis 1:28 (KJV) states "... and replenish the earth, and subdue it." Have we subdued the earth by now or is there more to be done? Are we replenishing it or depleting it?
Yours truly,

Some research at Bible.com:

KJV Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
NIV Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
